A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.
Do you see that blank, open space after the word "potential ..." ?
There's supposed to be a number there that actually tells us the value of the potential. Without that number ... and a lot more description of the whole scenario here ... there's no possible answer to the question.
For purposes of completing our calculations, we're going to assume that
the experiment takes place on or near the surface of the Earth.
The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s², directed toward the
center of the planet. That means that the downward speed of a falling object
increases by 9.8 m/s for every second that it falls.
3 seconds after being dropped, a stone is falling at (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s.
That's the vertical component of its velocity. The horizontal component is
the same as it was at the instant of the drop, provided there is no horizontal
force on the stone during its fall.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Hooke's law! F(spring)=-kx
There's no tricky square law here. The spring constant doesn't change, only x (distance stretched) changes. Therefore, if distance is halved, Force will be halved.
